Learning unit contents
This course considers the history of philosophy through its methods. Each session will be devoted to a different author or school. It will be driven by a specialist who will explain the method or "device" conceived by to make possible his own conception of philosophy.
Each session is threefold:
- Reading of a paper (±45 minutes)
- Collective trial of the exposed device (±1hour)
- Production of alternatives in small groups (±1hour)
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
With its restricted overview of the history of philosophy, this course offers an original view. It will provide participants with a set of tools that can be reproduced in their context of work.
